Editor’s Note: We love scouring the internet for reasons to spend money we don’t have on cars we daydream about owning, and these are our picks this week. All prices listed are bid amounts at the time of publishing.
Finding a vintage car, or a even a decade-old car with low-mileage, is becoming ever more difficult — especially if you’re combing through sports cars. All cars are meant to be driven, but the sole purpose of any performance car is a life of canyon carving and apex hunting in the wild. So when you come across any halfway-decent four-wheeled athlete with a practically brand-new ticker, it’s worth considering. These four German performers are practically brand new, not even in their prime — yet.
2005 BMW M3

What we like: This generation M3 is considered the pinnacle of the M3 lineage; most of the people who bought them knew that right away. These cars were driven and driven hard, so to see a 2005 example with just a hair under 30,000 miles is rare — a truly great find.
From the seller: The 30K-mile service was completed at the end of 2016, and the original invoice from Rallye Motors is included along with full service records and the owner’s manual.
Mileage: 29,882
Location: Greenwich, Connecticut
